Is it worth getting a horse?
I have the mine carts to get to mines/blacksmith/quarry/bus-stop already.

Is the horse that much faster than running around?

It'll mean moving some stuff around to make space for it on my farm as no point putting it too far from the house so I've been putting it off.

the horse is the second best investment you can make... second only to the backpack upgrades of course...

i buy spicy food that gives +1 movement , savage ring +2 speed
and still sometimes run faster than with a horse(in videos) i do not have one right now , nor i plan to get one in the future , i would barely suggest to get one because time u waste to take off and jump back is not worth it
The speed buff from coffee stacks with the speed buff from pepper poppers. +2 speed

I love the horse. Hopping on and off is very quick -- the dev did a great job integrating it into the game. I definitely vote yes on the horse investment.

Yes, because it's bat-sh*t fun to attempt ramming into George while he's wheelchairing around town.

Horse is super fast and comes in handy even if you use mine carts. Travling to the beach or through the woods can be really annoying wiithout and speed buff and the horse is definitely a good and cheap buff (except the hard wood ofc).

I was holding off on the horse but I think I'll give it a try.

The horse is fantastic, I rushed getting it and I do not regret my choice. I am still rolling around in hardwood and cash. Even if you have the minecarts, since the horse goes back to its stable after you sleep, you could insta transport and leave the horse behind with no guilt.

The boost is awesome, you won't regret the investment, even if you just use it to travel about your farm faster. It also goes very well with your cowboy hat :p Need I say more?

Dude, get a Horse fast. That must be your priority to not lose time.

Yes....you want a horse. Trust me.
Bella Apr 19, 2016 @ 2:00pm 
Well, that's clearly a YES. Thanks for the advice - one horse on it's way.

Once you get the horse, walking around will become frustratingly slow, unless you have all the buffs people are talking about.

TBH , i rarely use it. At least it requires zero maintance.

I love the horse. It's fast, easy, and requires no maintenance. Once you've built the stable you don't have to use any other resources on it. Totally worth it in my book.
